A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE RIDGE 
VIEW HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM for WINNING THE 2026 Class AAAAA Division 
I State Championship and to commend them for their continued excellence and 
dominance in high school basketball.

Whereas, the Ridge View High School boys basketball team captured the 
2026 Class AAAAA Division I State Championship with an impressive 65-44 victory 
over Ashley Ridge High School at the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia on Friday, 
March 6, 2026; and

Whereas, this victory marks the Blazers' seventh state championship 
in the past nine years and their third consecutive title, firmly establishing 
Ridge View as a dominant force in South Carolina high school basketball; and

Whereas, under the outstanding leadership of Head Coach Joshua 
Staley, the Blazers entered the championship game as the top team in Class AAAAA 
Division I and fulfilled expectations with discipline, teamwork, and 
exceptional athletic performance; and

Whereas, the championship game held special significance for Coach 
Staley, who once played under Coach Brad Dobbels at Hunter-Kinard-Tyler High 
School, and who competed against his former mentor, now the head coach of 
Ashley Ridge High School; and

Whereas, the Blazers demonstrated remarkable teamwork in the 
championship game, with DJ Wylie leading the scoring effort with 14 points, 
R.J. Davis contributing 11 points, and JT Vankallan and Talan Staley each 
adding 10 points; and

Whereas, the Ridge View High School boys basketball team has brought 
great pride and recognition to their school, their community, and Richland 
School District Two through their dedication, perseverance, and championship 
achievements. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of 
Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House 
of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Ridge View 
High School boys basketball team for winning the 2026 Class AAAAA Division I State 
Championship and commend them for their continued excellence and dominance in 
high school basketball.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to 
Principal Dr. Brenda Mack-Foxworth and Head Coach Joshua Staley.
